It took me a long time to get into this book! I’d say the first 1/3 I was just getting bored with the one dimensional nature of Eleanor’s blunt critical thinking. Eventually you learn there is more to her story and want to know what that is! Loved the development of her friendship with Raymond and growth by the end of the story!
